Literary Club Stresses Writing Skills Formed two years ago to promote an interest in crea- tive writing, the Literary Club enables students to eX- press themselves in writing and to receive constructive criticism from other members. Under the guidance of Mrs. Knappe and Mr. Mc- Cullough, the Literary Club sponsors two major projects each year. One of these projects is the publication of the MIAMI NORLAND LITERARY MAGAZINE which is a collection of original works of students. The second project is the selling of Campus Books, which are paper volumes of popular books. These sales occur once each semester. Each meeting of the club is planned in advance. Either a discussion of poetry or prose is a mainstay on the agenda. Writing laboratories have been established by the permanent prose and poetry committee. These committees plan panel discussions in which members of the faculty participate. Thus, Miami Norland does its part toward producing the Emerson,s of the future.
